A typical day in my life includes…

wake up (God willing), coffee, more coffee, then it’s anything goes! I do try to squeeze in some kind of exercise for 1 hour.

I was born…

in Harvey, Illinois.

My favorite thing about Arizona…

the weather, great people, and mountains.

I’m listening to…

for the most part, classic rock. I like Red Hot Chili Peppers for workouts.

My family…

is spread out across the country. Seattle, Northern CA and Washington D.C.

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

Cat Stevens (Yusaf). I would like to ask him why, at the pinnacle of his music career with hit after hit in the 70’s and selling out the largest venues, he suddenly stopped performing, gave all his stuff to charity and converted to Islam.

One thing I cannot live without…

the Sun.

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

a professional football player.

I’m inspired by…

my kids and grandkids. They inspire me to want to do things that will make the world a better place for future generations.

The one person who motivates me is…

my wife. She does the “unglamorous” job of taking care of the house, preparing meals, cleaning. Hardest job in the world with little thanks.

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…

people going hungry.

The perfect day would be…

hanging out with family anywhere doing anything.

My first job was…

golf caddie.

My favorite escape…

I need one! Suggestions please!

My life…

has been very blessed.

I’m currently working on…

developing a technology based real estate brokerage company to serve a currently neglected group of home renters.

Always…

treat people how you want to be treated!

Never…

say you’re going to do something you have no intention of doing.

Favorite Quote…

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Biggest Dream…

create the first real estate tech-based brokerage company to assist people in need of furnished monthly rental home accommodations. Eliminate stress in what is already a very stressful time of buying/selling a home.

My Pet Peeve(s)…

people who drive in the passing lane and go 10 under the speed limit.
